As I have started several columns about Google/Gmail in the past, I will do so again here, "I used to be a fan boy of Google but what have they done now?" I have also written recently in the past that with the demise of iGoogle, Google Reader and several other very good Google and…
I receive questions about those goofy, hard to read letters which are found on many websites from time-to-time. They are known as “Captchas.” Yes, a nonsensical word, unless you are a geek. It actually stands for the word, “capture.” Now that you just repeated them both in your mind, you are nodding – you get…
As I stated last week, I annually provide links to all of the sites we have visited throughout the previous year at DoubleClicks.info. Remember, if the site addresses are too long to type I have shortened them with bit.ly. Here they are in their order of appearance with short descriptions of each. Google Calendar –…
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year since we last talked. I wanted to say, "Thanks!" to all of you readers who support the "Double Click" column by reading and writing. It is very much appreciated. Please keep it up. I always enjoy hearing from you. So it is that…

After last week’s column about Google’s calendar I could not believe the number of emails I received.

I wrote about this several years ago but the response deserves it again, along…
If you currently have a Gmail account you most likely already know all about the Google Calendar feature. Also, if you are one of the many Android smartphone users you are well aware that in order to reap all of the benefits of the phone, you must have Gmail. Google Calendar is automatically added into…
Part of the appeal, in my mind and the minds of many others, is that the Google.com default search page is simple. You know… just white background, Google logo(s), and a text box with a couple of search buttons. Over the years they have added a couple of other things like a "Sign In" button…
For the past several weeks we have looked at Gmail Settings. Because of email questions I have received lately we will continue on today in that vein and look at Gmail Filters. You get to Filters the same way you got to Labels last week. You must first be logged into your Gmail account (gmail.com). …
Last week we looked at Gmail’s General Settings. As a result of your emails, today we move on to Gmail Labels. You get to Labels the same way you got to General Settings last week. You must first be logged into your Gmail account (gmail.com). Then look to the upper right corner and hover the…
